  • Patent number: 7992905
    Abstract: A forward structure of a motor vehicle, particularly of a passenger car, includes a bumper cross member and an energy absorption element, particularly a foam-type impact absorbing element, disposed in front of the bumper cross member in the driving direction. A plurality of recesses are shaped into the forward-side outer contour of the energy absorption element. To ensure optimal energy reduction while the mounting space is reduced, and thereby a best-possible protective function with respect to a leg impact, at least several of the recesses completely penetrate the energy absorption element along its entire depth, whereby a plurality of breakthroughs are arranged in the energy absorption element.

  • Patent number: 6973059
    Abstract: The interference on the available communication frequencies is measured during an idle time slot over a first period of time at a first rate. The available frequencies are prioritized based on the interference measurements, and a list is formed of the frequencies having the lowest interference measurements. Interference measurements are made at a second rate, greater than the first rate, for a second period of time less than the first period. When a call is assigned, the interference level requirements for the call are given, and the carrier power level of the call is measured. The carrier-to-interference ratio of each frequency in the list is determined using the second interference measurements and the measured carrier power. The frequencies in the list meeting the interference level requirements for the call are then selected, and frequency hopping while serving the call is performed using the selected frequencies.

  • Patent number: 6879121
    Abstract: A method for controlling an electric drive motor (10) of a motor vehicle adjusting drive by means of applying a variable voltage to it should be improved so that an EMV interference suppression can be inexpensively executed. To this end, a controllable resistor (12, 18, 20, 22) is used, which supplies the voltage applied to the drive motor (10).

  • Patent number: 6704291
    Abstract: A radio resource method and apparatus involves allocating transmission channels to and from a node (26) based on the system load requirement. The load requirement is determined from the quality of service requirement which, in turn, is assessed from the data rate, the bit energy to noise power ratio and the signal classification produced by a converter and sorter (38) in response to signal transmission requests. A maximum load generator (40) delivers the maximum load from these parameters. A core calculator and assignor (42) performs a predetermined algorithm on the outputs of the converter and sorter (38) and the maximum load generator (40) and in response thereto controls a channel selector (30) which selects the channels to and from node (26).
